1000 Waxwings - 22.1.11

At 2.20pm today while unpacking the shopping from the car 31 Waxwings flew over in the direction of Leavsden Studios. They got themselves onto my garden list and they also saw my Waxwing tally in Herts go past the 1000 mark (1012 and counting!). This invasion has added 770 birds so far!

Also of note i've now made 400 posts on this blog and on Wednesday I added Coal Tit to the year list.

About Me

Born and bred in Watford,Herts, I started birding when I was just 8 years old because the old next door neighbours garden was very overgrown and attracted birds to his and our gardens! I first went to the Watford RSPB group at 15 and then I joined the Herts Bird Club in the same year. I was on the Herts Bird Club committee for 3 years. I started twitching in September 2001 after i'd bought my RBA pager and within a week of owning it i'd added Red-Necked Stint and American Green Heron! I keep 2 main lists which can be seen above.
